Have you made something and want to show it off? This is the place for your photos or just talk about the things that you have made or would like to make. All crafts from knitting and crochet to woodwork, in fact anything that you have made!

I desided to start writing poetry again. And to write about every day things that I do, be it gardening, cleaning, the weather, etc. So I'm going to post my poems here and hope you'll all enjoy them and post your own poems here.

So this morning I was dusting.

Dust

Like a cloud
A layer
Sticky
A cloth
With one whipe
Shake out
Clean

I hope I translated it right. I really liked to play with the number of words in each sentence. I hope you enjoyed it too. Let me know what you think. And please post some poetry yourself.

The wind is blowing
It's bloody cold
now my hands are wringing
why do I feel so old
shall I go outside and do my chores
or drink more tea, I'm very bold (Irish use that word for naughty)
Ah feck it! the rain is coming again,
It's in for days I'm told.

Life is like a puzzle
Except all the pieces fit
Every change you make
The picture changes
And one thing is true
There is no solving
The puzzle of life

I was working on a puzzle this afternoon. A beautiful picture but a hell of a job to make. Thousands of pieces and only one fits. So unlike life. But the endproduct will be a perfect picture. Because if there is only one way, that way is perfection.

Not my finest work but I am not perfect so can't expect perfection every time.
